City officials to implement breathalyzer tests for public transportation users: Verification
In recent days, a video circulating on TikTok has sparked speculation about a potential new law in Minsk, Belarus, that would fine passengers for traveling while intoxicated in car-sharing vehicles from September 15. However, a thorough investigation by journalists from Smartpress.by and subsequent fact-checking have revealed that there is no information indicating a proposed law or regulation in Belarus to impose such fines.
The search results primarily cover laws and incidents related to drunk behavior or penalties in countries such as Sweden, India, the UK, Spain, and the US. Yet, there is no mention of any such proposal or legislation specific to Belarus or about drunk passengers in car-sharing vehicles.
Elena Gromyko, the press secretary of "Minsktrans," has also stated that the information about such innovations is not accurate. This statement further supports the conclusion that there is no publicly known, proposed Belarusian legislation regarding fining intoxicated passengers in car-sharing vehicles.
It is worth noting that restrictions for intoxicated drivers are being considered for other means of transportation. An idea for alcohol locks on car-sharing vehicles was discussed at an expanded meeting on July 19. However, as of the current date, no serious legislative initiatives have been developed for this purpose.
If you are seeking the most up-to-date or official information on this topic, it may be advisable to check Belarusian government or legal news sources directly, as no relevant evidence was found in the gathered search results. For now, it appears that there is no publicly known, proposed Belarusian legislation regarding fining intoxicated passengers in car-sharing vehicles, nor any information about the status of such a law.
The search results show discussions about restriction laws for drunk drivers in various countries, but no such laws or proposals specifically for Belarus regarding fining intoxicated passengers in car-sharing vehicles.
Despite talks about alcohol locks on car-sharing vehicles, no serious legislative initiatives have been developed in Belarus as of now, concerning fines for intoxicated passengers.
